ED30 Splitter VS VOTEX Splitter
« on: October 22, 2010, 05:27:09 pm »
Hi all,

Just come back from VW with intentions to buy the ED30 front splitter, but the parts guy bought up the Votex splitter also and i didnt know what the difference was between them except for the price, and he couldnt tell me either.

So if someone can tell me what the differences between the two are that would be great, and also pics of the two to show the difference.  :happy2:


Cheers

Sunny

£203.76 + 17.5% VAT = £239.41

Awesome:
£269.00 + 17.5% VAT = £316.08

Votex


Its the same design as the ED30 splitter but it has a gap inbetween the top and the lip where as the ED30 one is solid :happy2:



As you can see the Votex one has the bars

Personally i prefer the Votex splitter :happy2:

i've just got back from them and have ordered one in, the parts guy said there is none in stock, but once an order is paid for then they can chase it down with VW UK. So looking roughly 1-2weeks for it to arrive.

I think the Votex lip looks great.  :happy2:



Can't believe how much they are from the dealers, as said before they are very rare though!
